Transit riders btwn South Beach & Miami stand in packed buses for upwards of an hour to cross Biscayne Bay. That's if their lucky enough to even get on. A few wealthy elite are trying to stop the train. Learn more in today's Miami Herald via @doug_hanks. miamiherald.com/news/local/c…

‘Stop the train!’ South Beach buses are packed, but county’s rail plan under attack

The first Baylink transit study was finished in the 1980s on how to connect Miami with the beach. The fight continues.

Surprisingly, no restroom for customers. When we went, last week, it was filled with many families, with small children.

You've described South Beach elementary schools.

I can’t even begin to imagine how beautiful it would be to have schools with even a 50% walking rate. This would require: - Walkable neighborhoods - Neighborhood schools - High trust society We have much work to do.

Right, so what if a fully loaded semi, leaving Port Miami, with a 80,000lb container is stopped on the far-edge shoulder? Or multiple? in the rightmost lane, during a traffic jam?

What if a loaded semi-trailer (heading from Port Miami) is stopped on the shoulder, on the far edge?

For real. As a sometimes driver, I've never had a speeding ticket, never had a red light camera, nor an automated speed enforcement ticket. Also, never been towed. Yet, by some politicians, it's presented as a "tax" on working class folks. Are we missing something?

Not the beams -- the single centered pier holding the whole thing up.

Someone please explain these "small" piers* holding up the entire roadway. * a single pier, centered, relative to the width of the upper deck.

Just to be clear, the rail is already there. It's building the stations and other infrastructure needed to support commuter service.

79th street is a no brainer and we've consistently been calling for a stop there.

Maybe they should take the bus ;-)

Some @MiamiDadeCounty buses took about an hour to pass the arena last night, after the game ended.

Worse -- standing on a jam-packed bus, in the same traffic.

There should be a quest where it’s Art Basel and you’re just sitting on this same strip of highway for 3 hours in standstill traffic

Yes, agreed. However, MBPD by policy does not engage in vehicle pursuits, for the reason you stated, its dangerous!

Internet, what do you think of this?
Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner
@StevenMeinerOct 21
Drones, License Plate Readers, and GPS dart technology are some of the many initiatives I have brought to make our city safer. (bit.ly/DroneDartLPR) This weekend, they all worked together. Our LPR cameras flagged a stolen vehicle entering Miami Beach. Our drone tracked it, an officer tagged it with a GPS dart, and all five suspects were arrested after fleeing. Technology is a force multiplier. I’ll keep bringing initiatives to make @MiamiBeachNews the safest city in America.

As I said before, I welcome autonomous vehicles, but if they're privately owned, single-occupant vehicles rather than shared ones, they won't "solve" traffic in any way, shape, or form.
